Yun-Ting Chou, BACP

Yun-Ting Chou, also known as Tammy, is a BACP-registered counsellor who brings a relational and humanistic approach to supporting people through challenging life moments. With three years of professional experience, she works with a wide range of concerns including relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, parenting challenges, addictions, LGBT and intimacy-related matters, and stress related to career or life transitions. She also offers focused support for abandonment and attachment issues, body image, communication and control problems, isolation and loneliness, immigration-related difficulties, and midlife questions.

Her practice blends counselling and psychotherapy methods to create a warm, non-judgemental space where exploration and practical strategies sit side by side. She emphasizes collaborative, respectful work that helps people make sense of their experiences and develop tailored tools to move forward. Yun-Ting’s background growing up in East Asia informs a culturally sensitive perspective that she brings to sessions, and she engages in ongoing professional peer support with UK-based therapists to refine her practice.

Prior to counselling she spent eight years teaching Mandarin in schools and private settings, and since 2022 she has volunteered with Cruse Leeds supporting people experiencing grief. Outside of practice she enjoys hiking, cooking, reading, and connecting with others. She provides therapy in English and Mandarin, is based in the United Kingdom, and accepts international clients.

Relational and practical approaches available online

Yun-Ting integrates attachment-based work into her practice, focusing on how early bonds and current relationship patterns shape emotional responses - this approach can help with issues like attachment difficulties, intimacy problems, and feelings of abandonment. She also draws on client-centered therapy, offering empathic, non-directive support that helps people explore their values and sense of self while building self-compassion and confidence. In addition, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) informs practical strategies for identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood, stress, and coping with life changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and she works collaboratively with each person to identify what best fits their needs, goals, and preferences. The therapeutic path is shaped together, blending deep exploration with practical tools when appropriate.

Online therapy with Yun-Ting is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility for diverse schedules and locations. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions around work or family commitments, and access support from the United Kingdom or abroad while working with licensed professionals and experienced therapists.
